Joe Gomez makes decision on next club as Liverpool wait for asking price to be matched

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is ready to join Aston Villa this summer as the centre-back is open to leaving the Merseyside club before the transfer window shuts.

 

The Englishman was left out of Arne Slot’s squad for the Reds opening Premier League match of the season against Ipswich Town on Saturday due to interest in the defender and it is now being reported that the 27-year-old has made a decision on Aston Villa.

 

According to Football Insider, Gomez is willing to move to Villa Park over the coming days as he seeks a regular starting role for the 2024/25 campaign, which he is unlikely to receive at Liverpool.

 

Unai Emery is interested in the Reds star as he is a versatile defender who can play in every position across the backline, however, Villa will not be able to complete a deal unless Fulham target Diego Carlos is sold.

 

Aston Villa have already enquired about the availability of Gomez and would have been informed by Liverpool that a deal will cost the Premier League club around £40m/£45m.

 

Several other clubs have shown an interest in the Englishman this summer but Villa’s interest seems to be the most concrete at present. More interested parties could make a move for the Reds centre-back over the coming days but that remains to be seen.
